Details of the invisible aeroplane which lias been invented by -. Yeskshii'cmaii, Air Ernest AVeisb, r.v available. To bo made, invisible at a lew altitude an aeroplane must be constructed of something \vr, i ibe • ►licitand transparent [TOpevt’cs >f This something the mviiljr is said lo have discovered and or l do-.-cJ ,is 1 "" laboratory. The model lias wings which look like thin sheets of cel'nloni. Ik t what arc actually sheets of steel «.s tu-n----sparent as purest glass and as ! e.siblo as cardboard. The lunc.o of toe madiine is built of sycamore, ah this :s covered with metallic slims ccte.l Mid converted into mirrors,so .bat when ilio plane is in the air at quite a low altitude the wings arc entirdy invisible, while the mirrors and reflectors eiu iMiig tlie body and the engine, nrngie with the lights and colours of li.e sky in such a, way that the, visibility of tlm iem (line is entirely destroyed (says the A orksbire Boat). This new metal can be produced in any thickness, from that of a sheet of paper to the thickness an armour plate. It is not affected by acid or heat, water or petrol;-it is a, nonconductor, and absolutely permanent. “You can’t go to your office, in that old coat. What would your chief think?” “Oli, that’s all right—he also is married.”
